An electronic gradebook can save countless hours when tallying students grades. Many school systems provide an electronic gradebook for their teachers to record grades and collect attendance. There are countless grades books available for teachers to use. A few examples include: Gradekeeper, ThinkWave, Classbuilder, and many more.

Since it is impossible for me to know which school system you will work for. I decided I should teach you how to set up a basic gradebook in Excel. My thought is if you understand the basics of Excel you will be able to understand and use any gradebook program. Below you will find a video that walks you through the steps of setting up a basic gradebook in Excel.
